Hip Hop Philanthropy with Words Beats and Life

For over 20 years, Words Beats and Life has provided arts-based educational experiences in the DC Metro Area, equipping youth, arts managers, teaching artists and scholars to move from theory to practice. We harness the power of the imagination to reshape the lives and communities we serve.

I've found a passion and purpose in connecting with people and organizations doing work that speaks to their own purpose and values; I trust that our values at Words Beats and Life speaks to your own.

During the month of August, we're excited to celebrate Black Philanthropy Month AND the 50th anniversary of Hip Hop and invite you join us August 11-13, as we join the world in celebrating the culture that birthed us and our mission to transform lives and communities! 

View our 50th anniversary pitch deck outlining a full weekend of events, including a concert at the historic Lincoln and sponsorship opportunities for corporations, small businesses and social orgs.

DONATE TODAY to support our mission and our work, impacting Hip Hop and building culture for a more sustainable world!
